[Pharo-project] How I build squeak-vm with FT2Plugin on Linux
Hi, As a memento for me, I've written a tutorial to build the VM on Linux. http://magaloma.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-i-build-squeak-vm-on-archlinux.html I also provide the binaries and Pharo image with VMMaker loaded. As I'm newbie on building a VM, thanks for additional informations. Cheers, Laurent Laffont
excellent we are waiting for a living pharobook and this is typically what should go there. Stef On Mar 10, 2010, at 11:24 PM, laurent laffont wrote:

Hi Laurent, Nice! I just did the same the other day ;) My blog post describes step by step how to build a Unix VM from scratch on OSX: http://www.adrian-lienhard.ch/blog?article=building-a-pharo-squeak-vm-from-f... Please note that you are using the 3.11.3.*2135* sources, which produce a VM with terrible performance. The reason is that they don't have the gnuification step that creates a jump table instead of the case switch for the interpreter loop. I use the most recent source from SVN (r2151) and the bytecodes/s is 479400749 compared to 248543689. Cheers, Adrian On Mar 10, 2010, at 23:24 , laurent laffont wrote:

Great ! Can we merge our respective posts and put this on the Pharo wiki ? I don't have write access to the wiki. Do you know if there's an equivalent tutorial for windows ? I will try with the svn trunk. Laurent Laffont On Thu, Mar 11, 2010 at 8:38 AM, Adrian Lienhard <adi@netstyle.ch> wrote:

Both really interesting posts. Now...Some people reported that the Exupery Linux VM has "nicer" fonts than the standard VM, even if both use true type. Then Bryce Kampjes said in the mailing list: "If it's font related then the Exupery VMs also have a patched bitlbt for subpixel antialiasing. The true type code uses that to make fonts look a bit nicer." Do you know how that can be included ? Cheers Mariano 2010/3/11 laurent laffont <laurent.laffont@gmail.com>

Apply the .cs in the following email to your copy of VMMaker and also build the truetype plugin: http://n4.nabble.com/Fwd-Pharo-project-New-Pharo-based-on-core-10309-with-an... The truetype work was done by Andy Tween. Googling for him, truetype, plugin, and VM should find a bit more information. Bryce

Thanks Bryce!!! would be cool to have the "official" Linux VM for Pharo 1.0 release with this feature. Cheers Mariano Bryce

I've built one here http://lolgzs.free.fr/pharo/Squeak-3.11.3.2135-src-pached.tar.gz with FT2Plugin and the patched bitlbt. If someone can test it on another machine ... Note that I have several tests failing with this VM on RC3 image (but it doesn't crash, so that's far better than my previous custom VM :) Laurent Laffont

Excellent!!! do you know if this vm has the "Gnuification" ??? I saw an email from Adrian in VM maling list saying he has problem with that.
If someone can test it on another machine ...
I will try later (lazy to open virtual box hahah) Note that I have several tests failing with this VM on RC3 image (but it
doesn't crash, so that's far better than my previous custom VM :)

I don't think so as I use the current stable VM 3.11.3. rev 2135. I will try with last trunk. Laurent Laffont

I've built a vm from last trunk with all patches needed. http://lolgzs.free.fr/pharo/squeakvm-r2156.tar.gz I put FT2Plugin patches in one: http://lolgzs.free.fr/pharo/ft2plugin.patch I still have around 30 tests failing. It seems I need some magical special powers to built a VM which makes all tests pass :( Cheers, Laurent Laffont 2010/3/22 Mariano Martinez Peck <marianopeck@gmail.com>
